Sometimes I go to my happy place just to try and think that everything is okay and normal. Nothing is wrong. I have open parents, best friends that love me, and a big brother like figure that I love. But it was hard to do this when Ryan had just told me the truth. About werewolves and vampires and such. And I was mad. So mad that I was shaking and couldn't stop.

And the next thing I knew, my clothes were on a shredded pile, and I was…furry? Oh my God!

I turned to look in my full length mirror, and what I saw scared me. So bad I almost threw up. I was a wolf. A huge, furry white wolf. White as snow. And huge.

I spun around to Ryan and whined sadly. Why was this happening? And then, above all else, I heard voices in my head.

I wish we could tell her! It sounded like my mother!

I know! Now this was Amy!

HEY! I yelled in my head. This is Gracie. I think I'm a flippin wolf, and I kinda need some help here!

Oh God! Now this was Madi! Grace, we're all coming. Is anyone with you?

Ryan.

Good, see you in five.

Ryan taught me how to phase back. Btu when I phased back naked, I screamed, grabbed a towel, and hit him. Then I ran into the bathroom and put some clothes on. When I went back to the bedroom, Ryan was in wolf form. At least I'm guessing it was him. He had Ryan eyes. My parents, Madi, and Amy were waiting with him, smiling.

"So what the heck is going on?" I wanted to know as everyone else plopped somewhere in my room. Ryan sprawled out on the floor. I lay down and used his stomach as a pillow. He was so warm and so soft.

Dad smiled. "Gracie, you remember all those old Quileute legends?" I nodded. "Well, they're true."

Yeah, and we all get big wolves that rip vampires to shreds!" Amy added, and Madi whacked her shoulder.

I was so lost. "But why did you guys ignore me?"I whined. "I missed you!"

Madi looked at the floor. "It's what was safer for you," she whispered. "We weren't sure the wolf gene would be passed onto you, but it was. So now we don't have to worry about the danger. We're so sorry, Gracie."

"It's okay," I said. "So everyone here is a big furry wolf?" My mother nodded. "THAT IS TOTALLY FLIPPIN AWESOME!"

Amy cracked up. "Good, I'm glad! Cause there's a bonfire tonight for the three of us to get sworn into the pack!"

I am sooooooooooooooo sorry this tool so long and is so short. I have been dealing with school, family and the aftermath of the funeral for my uncle, and that is not pretty. Thanks for bearing with me!
